Ni Mortz C. Ortigoza
I bumped into Ariel Mayola yesterday at SM in Dagupan City. I asked him
how his first cousin Danny Mayola --the City's prolific long time newsstand
owner.
Ariel said Danny - who lived in the notorious slum area's Aleng - died three months ago.
"What?! Ano ang kinamatay niya?" I posed.
Ariel - a street toughie who lived too in the same slum - mimicked with
his right hand feeding his mouth with food.
"Wala nang makain, Pare!"
"Paano walang makain e nagbebenta naman siya ng diyaryo saka nagpapa
jueteng?".
"Magmula nang ipinagbubungkal iyang mga drainage diyan sa Fernandez
Avenue, halos wala ng pumaparada na kotse para bumili ng diyaryo niya,"
Ariel explained.
REST IN PEACE, MANG DANNY!
